Abstract

The discourse on gender equality in Islam is often constrained by religious interpretations that lack socio-historical sensitivity. One such example is the frequently cited hadith narrated by Ibn Mājah (No. 3993), which asserts that women constitute the majority of Hell’s inhabitants and are described as lacking in reason and religion. This hadith is often interpreted literally, without adequate contextualization, which leads to gender bias. This study attempts to re-examines the hadith using the qirā’ah mubādalah (reciprocal reading) approach, which emphasizes relational justice and the ethical parity between men and women. Methodologically, the study employs qualitative analysis based on literature review, including sanad and matan evaluation to assess the hadith’s authenticity, and thematic-contextual analysis to reinterpret its meaning. The findings affirm that the hadith is classified as ṣaḥīḥ li-dhātih, meeting the criteria of an unbroken chain (sanad muttaṣil), reliable and just narrators (‘ādil and ḍābiṭ), and free from shudhūdh or ‘illah. However, when approached through the lens of mubādalah, the statement that women are the majority of Hell’s inhabitants emerges not as an ontological indictment, but as a universal moral admonition. Likewise, the depiction of women as deficient in intellect and religion is shown to reflect the socio-cultural limitations of the time, particularly in terms of women’s access to public and spiritual domains.

Abstract

The issue of women pursuing careers in the public sphere continues to be a subject of debate in contemporary social and academic circles. The stigma attached to career women not only reflects resistance to gender role change but also reproduces patriarchal discourse structures through religious authority. This study analyzes the construction of career women in Tafsīr Nūr al-Iḥsān by Sa‘īd b. ‘Umar Qāḍī using a qualitative-descriptive approach and an Islamic feminist framework. Data were obtained through literature review and unstructured interviews. The results of the analysis reveal three main ideas: (1) women are ontologically positioned as unequal to men; (2) women’s activities should be limited to the domestic sphere; and (3) women’s leadership is permitted on the condition of their husband’s consent and fulfillment of domestic roles. These findings suggest that the interpretation not only reflects traditional normative views but also functions as an ideological instrument in maintaining patriarchal gender structures. This study contributes to enriching Malay Jawi interpretation studies with a critical approach and opens new discourse in reading interpretations as an arena of contestation between tradition and gender emancipation in Southeast Asia.

Abstract

The Mu‘tazilah school of thought has played an important role in Islamic theology, especially in discussions about social and ethical issues. One of the well-known interpretations that reflects this thought is Tafsīr al-Kashshāf by al-Zamakhsharī, which takes a rational and critical approach to understanding the verses of the Qur’an. In today’s world, many social issues, such as justice, individual freedom, and human rights, are closely related to Mu‘tazilah principles. This study focuses on how al-Zamakhsharī interprets Qur’anic verses related to social and ethical issues from a Mu‘tazilah perspective. The main source of the study is Tafsīr al-Kashshāf, while additional references include books and articles discussing tafsīr and Mu‘tazilah theology. A descriptive-analytical approach is applied to understand how al-Zamakhsharī structures his arguments and how Mu‘tazilah principles are reflected in his interpretation. The results show that Tafsīr Al-Kashshāf strongly represents Mu‘tazilah beliefs, especially in its emphasis on justice and human freedom. Al-Zamakhsharī highlights the importance of reason in understanding the Qur’an and rejects the idea that fate completely determines human actions. Additionally, among the five core principles of Mu‘tazilah, three are particularly important in shaping moral and ethical values: al-‘adl (divine justice), al-wa‘d wa al-wa‘īd (divine reward and punishment), and amar ma’rūf nahi munkar (encouraging good and preventing evil).

Abstract

The increasing use of social media, particularly Instagram, has encouraged new forms of religious expression, including interpretive memes that discuss various social issues. This article critically examines the discourse on career women as articulated in five meme-based posts on the @akhiukhtiantiselfie account. The five posts contain quotations from the Qur’an, hadith, references from several websites, and opinions from religious figures. This study uses a qualitative method with a Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework from Teun A. van Dijk. The results of the study show that, from a textual perspective, the discourse on career women in the interpretive memes of this account is shaped through a textualist approach of interpretation. From a social cognition perspective, the account owner views the phenomenon of career women on social media as a profession that is contrary to Islamic law. Meanwhile, from a social context perspective, the account owner's activities reflect an effort to raise public awareness about the dangers of the phenomenon of career women that is prevalent on various social media platforms. For the owner of the @akhiukhtiantiselfie account, the ideal role for women is in the domestic sphere; therefore, becoming a beauty vlogger or model promoting beauty products is considered unacceptable. However, they still allow women to work outside the home or engage in online commerce, provided certain strict conditions are met. Ultimately, this discourse construction aligns with Salafi’s interpretive patterns, as reflected in the authoritative references and theological arguments employed.

Abstract

The concept of self-esteem is a fundamental aspect in the formation of a dignified human civilization, as reflected in the teachings of the Qur’an. Amidst the growing identity crisis and existential challenges of modern humans, the study of the Qur’an’s understanding of self-esteem has become increasingly relevant. This study aims to examine the concept of self-esteem in the Qur’an and explore its contextualization and relevance in a contemporary context. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive and analytical approach, and refers to Abdullah Saeed’s contextual theoretical framework to understand the text in its historical and contemporary contexts. The results of the study indicate that verses such as Surah al-Isrā’ [17]: 62 and 70, Surah al-Furqān [25]: 72, and Surah al-Ḥujurāt [49]: 13 affirm the uniqueness of humans as beings endowed with reason, honor, and moral potential. These values align with modern psychological principles regarding the importance of self-esteem in shaping character and integrity. This study affirms that strengthening self-esteem through a holistic understanding of Islam has the potential to make an important contribution to the development of human resources and the formation of an inclusive and civilized society.
